“One easy way to show you care about others is to ask them questions about their life.

• What are they excited about?


• What are they working on?


• What are they hoping for?

Simply asking the question and listening thoughtfully is an act of generosity. You're giving them the gift of attention.”

Anna Wintour with a dose of truth:

“People respond well to those that are sure of what they want. What people hate most is indecision.”

I spend a lot of time thinking about this simple idea: The person who aligns themselves with the general principles of the world goes further and faster than the person who doesn’t.

“The person who learns the most in any classroom is the teacher.

If you really want to learn a topic, then “teach” it. Write a book. Teach a class. Build a product. Start a company.

The act of making something will force you to learn more deeply than reading ever will.”

The quicker you want something, the easier it is to manipulate you.

You get to pick a new career based on one factor: Your job is to do the activity that most frequently puts you into a flow state.

Flow state = you feel fully immersed in your work, you’re in “the zone,” time flies by without you realizing it, etc.

What do you choose?

“Many frustrations are the result of unspoken expectations. Before you get too annoyed, make sure you are clearly expressing your thoughts.”
